Quickchat MCP server

Quickchat AI MCP server allows you to integrate your custom Quickchat AI Agents with popular AI applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and more through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This integration enables users to access your AI agents directly from their preferred AI tools.

Getting Started

Create Your Quickchat AI Agent

1. Create a Quickchat AI account and start a 7-day trial of any plan
2. Set up your AI's Knowledge Base, capabilities, and settings
3. Go to the MCP page to activate your MCP and provide:
   • Name: What users will see in their AI app
   • Description: Information about your AI's capabilities
   • Command (optional): Helps AI apps understand when to use your agent

Installation

Install the required uv package manager:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

For alternative installation methods, visit the uv documentation.

Configuring AI Apps

Claude Desktop Setup

1. Go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config
2. Open the claude_desktop_config.json file in a text editor
3. Add your Quickchat AI MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "< QUICKCHAT AI MCP NAME >": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["quickchat-ai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCENARIO_ID": "< QUICKCHAT AI SCENARIO ID >",
        "API_KEY": "< QUICKCHAT AI API KEY >"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can find your MCP Name, SCENARIO_ID, and API_KEY at Quickchat AI app > MCP > Integration.

Cursor Setup

1. Go to Settings > Cursor Settings > MCP > Add new global MCP server
2. Add the Quickchat AI MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "< QUICKCHAT AI MCP NAME >": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["quickchat-ai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCENARIO_ID": "< QUICKCHAT AI SCENARIO ID >",
        "API_KEY": "< QUICKCHAT AI API KEY >"
      }
    }
  }
}

Sharing Your MCP With Others

To let others use your Quickchat AI MCP without exposing your API key:

1. On the Quickchat App MCP page, turn the Require API key toggle OFF
2. Share this configuration snippet with your users:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "< QUICKCHAT AI MCP NAME >": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["quickchat-ai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCENARIO_ID": "< QUICKCHAT AI SCENARIO ID >"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Important: Never publish your Quickchat API key to your users!

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "quickchat-ai-mcp" '{"command":"uvx","args":["quickchat-ai-mcp"],"env":{"SCENARIO_ID":"< QUICKCHAT AI SCENARIO ID >","API_KEY":"< QUICKCHAT AI API KEY >"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "quickchat-ai-mcp": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "quickchat-ai-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "SCENARIO_ID": "< QUICKCHAT AI SCENARIO ID >",
                "API_KEY": "< QUICKCHAT AI API KEY >"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "quickchat-ai-mcp": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "quickchat-ai-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "SCENARIO_ID": "< QUICKCHAT AI SCENARIO ID >",
                "API_KEY": "< QUICKCHAT AI API KEY >"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
